@Ylecun Now that you have joined the symbol-manipulating club, I challenge you to read my arxiv article Deep Learning: Critical Appraisal carefully and tell me what I actually say there that you disagree with.
It might be a lot less than you think.https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1066418378070507520 …

Deep learning alone can do a lot of things (in NLP, CV, etc.). tbh it seems you do a lot of pointing to cases where it alone is not sufficient & say "see, Deep Learning won't get us to true AI" when no one was saying that it will in the first place (except non-experts).
I would say (and have said) that deep learning alone cannot do true natural language understanding. (Yes, it can do some components of the pipeline).

Yes of course it cannot do NLU, but it is a fact it is used to tackle a lot of NLP (meaning various pieces of the pipeline, such as translation, part of speech tagging, etc.). Same with CV (already used for recognition, detection, synthesis, etc.).

Just pointing out that AGI is not only thing deep learning alone can’t do, and that wasn’t clear in your tweet
